Demo: Contrasting colours

So for our first lesson back after Christmas we were delivered our new brief for term 2 and shown our first demo of 2016 showings from now on till our hand in date looks, tips and ideas that will influence our final assessment creating our own magazine front cover!

So to kick off the term Branka showed us a contrast eye look, by starting off with taking off all her models make up making sure she had a clean base to work on. Then to prep the models skin but today not using moisturiser like she normally would but used MAC strobe cream to give the skin more of a hydrated and glossy look applying this to the models face with a foundation brush. For the eye colour Branka chose purple and yellow as her contrasting colours using the variety bright palette as the pigment was such a strong Sharpe colour specially when Branka applied white from our kroylan grease palette to the lid to enhance the pigments of the shadow but as this is a grease base its not advised to use for long term wear as the grease will break the make-up down ruining the full face so advised if was for long wear maybe to use MAC painterly paint pot that will still give the same effect but give that longer wear. Applying to the lid first applying all over up to the crease not too much though as less is more and then with her ring finger buffed the white out really gently press out. Once applied the grease paint to the lids loaded her brush up with yellow pigment not blending in but pressing into the lid and building as this gives a a bold colour and because there's no base she just buffed out, and because Branka likes the eye to look sculpted went in with a slight contour sleek medium applying slightly into the crease , then underneath applied minimum grease paint getting her model to look up working it onto the water line and just underneath then same technique but this time applying her purple wanting it to glide on, if gets a bit messy don't worry you can always get a cotton bud to clean up any drop age hence why the foundation is left till after the eye's when applying an eye look like this contrasting colours.

Next for the skin, Branka wanted to create beautiful skin and used kroylan ultra very similar to full coverage but a little more glossier, mixing the colour of her models skin tone being quite quite applied where she wanted the product ( bridge nose, cheek, forehead and chin ) and buffering it out into the skin with being pretty much done not being heavy with it as said before less is more, as this product is quite thick and full coverage Branka wouldn't use a additional product to conceal as the foundation gives an overall great coverage she is looking for.
Next adding highlighter using top shop gleam beautiful golden highlighter applying with the same foundation brush used to apply the base. adding to top of cupids bow, side of cheeks just under the brow, just buffing that away then setting the make-up very lightly with a translucent powder illmasque invisible, for contour used a cream contour keeping it really simple applying to the shaded areas, below the cheekbone, both sides of the bridge of the nose, top of the forehead and slightly the jawline.
Then started to buff a little bit of strobe cream on top of the face to give extra highlight almost looking as it was glossy but not giving that oily impression.

Brows Branka used a flat brush , started brushing the, up with the gel to get them started and get that shape for the corners mixing MAC brun and tope shadows to get that nice brow colour for her model, brushing up and filling where needed. Now for the lip she wanted to go really natural using left over foundation mixing with a slight peach colour as she just wanted to create a natural stained lip pressing into the lips finishing the lip with some gloss from MAC again pressing into the lip to finish the look.
